Howard Kanovitz. Visible Difference. Catalogo della mostra (Koblenz, 26. marzo-28 maggio 2017). Ediz. a colori

In 1972 the already famous curator Harald Szeemann invited Howard Kanovitz – together with the Americans Chuck Close and Richard Estes, the British painter Malcolm Morley, the Swiss artist Franz Gertsch and the Germans Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke – to take part in the exhibition in Kassel as exponents of photography-based painting. Kanovitz also participated in in 1977. He was given solo shows by museums in other cities, including Utrecht, Duisburg, Berlin and Hannover at the Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, is Kanovitz’s first solo exhibition in a museum since 1980. It offers an opportunity to rediscover this master of Pop Art and Photorealism, to trace his artistic development through seminal works from his oeuvre, and to conduct a scholarly exploration of his artistic significance in retrospect.
